Day Three of The Plan and Nothing has Happened Yet.

If you read my last post I’ve not been in a good place the last couple of weeks and
to get me out of my funk

I had … pause for drumroll…
Made A Plan.

Rainy Sunday

It mainly involves me
getting off the computer and into the jungle I call my garden. That was three
days ago. Of course I am still on the computer and nowhere near the garden but
that was because I was helping at the church holiday club. Three mornings of
gluing, cutting, glittering… what do you mean the kids are meant to do it? I
had fun!

It was good fun, but now I need to tackle the garden. Do I
make a plan? This seems a sensible idea. After all, I have no clue what I’m
doing. See green plant. Kill green plant. I’m very good at the wholesale
massacre of plants.

Make a plan. Stare blankly at page. Wander off for coffee.
Look at Facebook.

No, no, no, I’m supposed to be away from Facebook. Start
again.

1.Chop down weeds… oooh, man chopping his way
through the jungle, swinging his scythe, sweat rolling down his chest. Concentrate, Sue!

2.Dig out flowerbed… Watch those rippling muscles
as the man works the land. Oh for heaven’s
sake- me, flowerbed, not hot!

3.Find fence at the back, by cutting through the
brambles. Patching up the wounds of the very hot man…

You see my problem? Every time I start my mind goes off into
hot man and storyland. I cannot concentrate on gardening at all. I’m going to
take a deep breath and walk out into my garden, armed with shears, a cup of
coffee and a blank mind. Forget the plan. I can do this. No more computer, no
more Facebook, no more… bird… gorgeous man takes injured bird to handsome vet.
Oh for heaven’s sake number two, Sue, concentrate.

*deep breath* I’m going to step out of the door, I really am.…
Oh good Lord, it’s hailing cats and dogs.

Maybe I’ll just hide indoors for the next few hours with a
book and some munchies. Does that sound like a good idea?

You can do it! A little rain (or hail, my god) may delay you for a bit, but I have faith in your ability to weedwhack. :D And hey, if you come up with a scene or two to put aside for later use, no harm no foul. <3
